Compare 2-Digit Numbers – 1 &10 More/Less Scavenger Hunt – Grades 1-2 – PRINTABLE

Description

Do your kids need some fun review of comparing 2-digit numbers? This class activity is FUN and gets kids up and moving!

This is a great practice or review activity for kids in 1st grade who are still working to make sense of 2-digit numbers, or as a review for kids in 2nd grade who are still struggling or need a refresher before moving onto larger numbers.

How the Scavenger Hunt Works:

The scavenger hunt includes 10 problems for kids to solve. To set it up, post all 10 problems in various locations around your room. Give each student a recording sheet and then you’re ready to get started!

To begin, kids can start with ANY of the problems. They solve it on their recording sheet and then have to FIND the solution somewhere around the classroom.

When they find the answer to the problem, they solve the NEXT problem in the scavenger hunt.

Eventually, they will end up back where they started and they’ll know they have completed the hunt correctly.

Skills Covered in This Scavenger Hunt:

Your students will practice a variety of skills as they work through this scavenger hunt, helping them to build number sense with 2-digit numbers. This includes:

• Compare two quantities with >, < or = symbol
• Order a group of numbers from least to greatest & greatest to least
• Use a hundreds chart to find 1 more/less or 10 more/less

Tips for Using This in the Classroom:

• Give kids a clipboard to make it easier to record their work and answers as they move about the room
• Let kids work with partners as they make their way through the scavenger hunt
• If you have a large class, assign kids a starting problem so they’re not all bunched together at the same location
• Collect the recording sheets as an informal assessment of how your students are doing
• Use this as an end-of-unit review, end-of-the-year review or as a substitute activity (be sure to do this with your students prior to leaving it with a sub so students know how it works)
